On May 12, 2018, with temperatures feeling like summer in the springtime, Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment graduated 169 PhD, Master of Environmental Management (MEM), Master of Forestry and DEL-MEM students, as well as 52 undergraduate students.
We were very proud to have noted conservationist Mamie Parker deliver the commencement address. Aleksandra Dobkowski-Joy MEM'98 delivered the alumni address and Elihu R. M. Dietz MEM'18 was nominated by his classmates to deliver the student address.
